I applaud jack mallers (npub1cn4…3vle) for having this conversation with Dave Portnoy
for the Money Matters Podcast, and explaining why #bitcoin is more than just an asset to buy for number go-up (maybe Dave will get there at some point).
Here's the thing--we need more conversations like this, a live look at bitcoiners explaining bitcoin to folks who don't fully understand it, and seeing that being worked through. Many people are like Dave--thinking bitcoin is like any crypto or asset, something to get rich on. Many people also do not think people are into bitcoin for any altruism, and we at TPBPod (npub1fpc…4sld) try to amplify stories, not of the rich and powerful and bitcoin price, but of it's positive impact on people and our planet, and those who need it most.
These conversation exposed how, in the U.S., we still have more work to do so that people understand it's not just an asset or speculative bet, but its money for the world, for the activist, for the oppressed in authoritarian regimes, for the working class to save, and more
People can and will get rich from bitcoin, and many of those folks in an odd, game-theory way, will help usher in a global new era of bitcoin mass-adoption, which will benefit everyone. This isn't about Dave, Barstool, or billionaires, its about global money for the people
jack mallers (npub1cn4…3vle) is using his platform to bring on people that folks will tune in to (athletes, celebrities, tech billionaires, etc), to then spur on the audience's curiosity that bitcoin is the greatest global money for humanity, promoting mass adoption that benefits the world 🔥
